Chicago White Sox Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2013 -> 08:48 PM) For starters, get the worst player in baseball out of the 2nd spot. Flip flop De Aza and Gillaspie in the order as well. Robin is too stubborn though. We saw this same thing happen with Morel last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Nate Jones should be one of the first to go. Tired of these power bullpens the Sox have put together year after year that underachieve their "stuff." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 8, 2013 -> 02:48 AM) You can shake it up and move the K hitters to the bottom and hope the contact ish hitters can do something haha You might as well try to get someone on base in front of Rios. Keppinger has his sub .200 average and 0 walks is making it so easy to pitch to Rios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 7, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) What do you suggest they do to fix it though? They can do nothing at this point in 2013 but hope Sox brass does not expect crowds of more than 10,000 a game. NOBODY should pay to see this s*** live.

Marty34 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2013 -> 08:49 PM) Coming into today, Keppinger and Dunn were tied with Middlebrooks for the lowest WAR in baseball. Konerko has the 9th worst WAR. But BABIP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keppinger has his sub .200 average and 0 walks is making it so easy to pitch to Rios. Yeah Kepp got paid and he's playing so lazy on both sides of the ball. I was excited at first but my goodness wow, what in the world is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Losing to the early favorite to win the Cy Young with no DH and your starting LF on the DL isn't really the thing that should motivate you to start moving around the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox are a botched play by Getz away from getting shutout for 3rd time in 4 games. They're the worst offense in the AL, and it's not even close.

pettie4sox Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Yeah I want to see Becks and Viciedo back in the lineup. Also Gillespie should be our 3B from here on out with Kepp playing the utility guy. Here's how I shake up the lineup and I'm ready to be flamed, but whatever.

caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well, it figures after Jones got all those "vulture" wins last year in relief that he would be 0-3 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'll be happy to get Gordon and Dayan back in the lineup. It's not totally true, but hitting can be contagious. Just need to get things rolling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
